Smaller categories

I was thinking of making some smaller categories, such as fastest time to type the "25467" code or the "191421" code in the Remove Collision category, these categories wouldn't be on the Full Game categories but the ILs beacause they would be so short.

Some categories i thought of may include:

  • enter the "25467" code
  • enter the "191421 code
  • an Any% category where you have to press esc as fast as possible.
  • fastest to shoot your gun
  • fastest to collect the flag, not deliver the flag to the blue flag, but just capture it and the blue text appears on screen
  • Fastest to shoot the Gramophone
  • Glitchless categories where you can't walk backwards after the 2nd flag to skip the Ghost sequence. these may not be in the ILs
  • Fastest to shoot the Eye, not including timing from the rest of the playthrough but the time it takes to shoot the eye after it appears.
  • Remove Collision fastest to fall into the void, not including inputting "25467", but after you start the level and timing ends when you appear in the room after falling into the void.
  • Fastst to see the Ghost, a category in which you need to see the ghost and move toward it and make it disappear.

These where all i could think of, but these were just thoughts, what do any of you think, do any of you have any suggestions for short categories like these, or do you think we have enough categories, my thinking was just to make shorter IL type categories, but i won't add anything unless any of you think it's a good idea.

Enter the “25467” code, glitchless category and fastest to collect the flag are interesting categories

I thought of these categories a few days ago because we didn't really have short speedruns that don't require too much skill but have a fun challenge, like the gramophone categories are quite optimised already and requires quick fast aiming and shooting, i thought of the 25467 category when i was lowering the remove collision record, trying to optimise my typing, and i thought of a glitchless category just because most games have them and a few of the categories use the walk backwards glitch, but most of these were just me thinking on the spot when typing the post.

Megs what do you mean "misc"

these categories are perfect for a "misc" or a category extension. I think the categories we have now are good, I don't think there is a need to place more among the main categories.

Yeah thats what i thought, we don't need to clutter the main full game categories with categories that last a few seconds, which categories do you think we should add megs, or do you have your own suggestions?

Fastest to see the Ghost (ghost%) and Glitchless (classic% maybe?)

Any% could be interesting, runners would have to time a perfect esc input
